99TS3 Posted 3August, 2014 Report Share Posted 3August, 2014 The QLD car appears sold. Now only two - the WA car and the low mileage high price one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 3August, 2014 Report Share Posted 3August, 2014 The WA car is a nice example, owned by a enthusiastic Porsche guy who has two other 911's. Surprised to see it is still available. Sales seem to have averaged one a month, those with asking prices in the range of $139,000 to $169,000 being those that have sold. The CTS Lintott ex race car being the lowest priced car that sold at $124,990, an aberration because of its history, together with the black low mileage car at $209,000 not finding a home. Prices don't seem to be increasing, but nor are they falling. If the cars are standard, and lowish mileage, they sell. Modifications are not often seen, and don't help values no matter the cost. Funny how none of those listed have ever been higher mileage cars, say over 120,000kms. Where have they all gone, or don't they exist?

sleazius Posted 4August, 2014 Report Share Posted 4August, 2014 I've always wondered what type of buyer purchases these very low mileage cars...as a generalization, collectors or show/display car owners seems to be the only logical answer. I've always tried to buy the lowest mileage car possible, then I drive it. I think you're right though, the majority of people who buy low mileage cars seem to just park them in the shed/garage/museum/whatever and look at them occaisionally. There is a fair bit of pokemon that goes on with collectors of anything, 'gotta catch em all' - the second something is tracked down its onto the next acquisition. Its more about the thrill of the chase rather than actually owning the said item. A member of my extended family has over 500 cars, and he operates pretty much how I've described. Buy, drive once (or maybe twice if he really likes it), store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 4August, 2014 Report Share Posted 4August, 2014 That's pretty hardcore and pathological behaviour! Does it cause distress? Are they stored properly? Breaks my heart when you see a bunch of cars stored in barns all rotting away. I'd rather own 5 and care for them, than 500 covered in dust and chook poo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1q2w3e4r Posted 4August, 2014 Report Share Posted 4August, 2014 White CTS 993 went for a shade north of $130k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 4August, 2014 Report Share Posted 4August, 2014 Ah , but the value of 500 cars found in a barn in 2034 I imagine they'll be sold sooner than that, hes in his mid-70s now. They won't be 'found' either, people know about the collection and a few in the 'industry' know largely what it is comprised of. Anything particularly valuable is stored in a bubble on a battery tender, and the tyres are kept inflated. All the valuable stuff is kicked over once a month generally too. They aren't rotting away. No need to get too excited though, he doesn't own a single Porsche. He had a 911 in the late 60s, didn't like it, and has never bought another one.

Simonoz Posted 22August, 2014 Report Share Posted 22August, 2014 Autohaus Hamilton have unearthed another Turbo. $159,000, 53,000kms, midnight blue over blue interior. Had a call today on the silver 45,000 km WA Turbo. Don't think that will be around much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That steering wheel alone is worth the price of admission, to say nothing of the boom box, TV, and red interior highlights. Sensational value at 50 cents in the dollar. Wont last long.

npvpositive Posted 26August, 2014 Report Share Posted 26August, 2014 The blue 993 turbo ($159k, 53,000 km) at Autohaus Hamilton is also now under offer. Lasted less than a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 26August, 2014 Report Share Posted 26August, 2014 To the tune of "another one bites the dust".... Funny how none of the Turbos sold have popped up on PFA. What does that mean, I wonder? MaxzmusSC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonoz Posted 2September, 2014 Report Share Posted 2September, 2014 Another Turbo is now on the market, the Forest Green 1998 Turbo delivered to Michael Winkler, who was MD of Porsche Cars Australia until recently. A highly specced car, in a colour you will either love or hate, its at RSR Garage in Melbourne for $149,950. I reckon no more than a week will see it sold.

Chris-p Posted 2September, 2014 Report Share Posted 2September, 2014 Simon, that one has turned over a couple of times in the last few years.it was for sale privately for quite a while then Rob had it for sale 2 or so years ago at about 160 to 170k if my memory serves me right. For some reason I can remember stuff like that but cannot remember what happened yesterday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 2September, 2014 Report Share Posted 2September, 2014 Not quite Chris. The car was offered to me a couple of years ago when the owner of the time considered selling it but he had owned it for a while then. He just sold it now. Its a good car with a good history to the best of my knowledge. There is another similar car knocking around that causes the confusion I think.

Chris-p Posted 2September, 2014 Report Share Posted 2September, 2014 Strange, Simon as I clearly remember the car having the same history. As I said for some stupid reason I remember these things. Perhaps it was more than a couple of years ago but definitely the same car..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 2September, 2014 Report Share Posted 2September, 2014 Don't see it on his website yet. See what you mean about Forest Green though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
